To all whom it may concern:

freight shipments,

Be it known that I, HARRISON B. WALTER, a citizen of the? United States,residing at Danville, in county of Vermilion and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Boxes, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in boxes of the knockdown type,the special purpose of this invention being to produce box. well adaptedfor parcel-post and light pieces of material, the joints of which allhave'over or underlapping flanges.

In the accompanying draw1ngs:Figure 1 is a transverse sectional view,Fig. 2 is a front 6, the ends 7 horizontal sectional view, and Fig. 3 isa small sectional detail.

One piece of material is bent to form the bottom 1, the back'2, top 3,and the flaps 4 and 5 at the ends. The other piece of which the box iscomposed is bent to form the 9, 10, 11, and 9, 10, and 11 respectively,the front therefore supplying the placeof the missing flaps, and theflaps 10 and 10 being riveted or otherwise secured to the back 2, thusconstituting the sole means of attaching the two parts composing myimproved box together. When closed, the flaps 1 and 5 are tucked justinside the front 6, and between it and the adjacent ends of the flaps11, 11 and 9 and 9 respectively.

and it consists in twoand 8, and the three flaps A knock-down boxcomposed of two pieces *of material, one of. which is cut to form afiaple'ss center which forms thefront of the box and the two ends eachhaving a flap on each of three edges, and the other out and bent to formback, bottom and top, and flaps along the outer edges of the top andbottom, the edges of the back permanently secured to the end flaps ofthe ends and the flaps along the ends of the top and bottom adapted tobe' inserted between the front and the ends of the side flaps on theends. 1

In testimony whereof I affix my signature, 1n the presence of twowltnesses.
